Once Second Later

How many times in lifeDo we find ourselves thankfulThat we came alongJust one second later

A tragedy or catastrophe occursWhere many lives are lostYet we are spared by coming alongJust one second later

Do we take for grantedThe angels who our path delayedSo we could be spared to live on earthIf only for one more day

Yet every Sunday morningIn the churches of our worldPeople make a choice to not go forwardWaiting just one second more

Please my friend do not beLike those who procrastinateAccept the gift in Jesus ChristBefore it is too late

For one day a trumpet will soundThe skies will split wide openJesus will come back to earthTo take His Bride to Heaven

Then in that day if you've not askedJesus in your heart to resideYou'll find that you decided to wailThe saddest second of your life

I wrote this poem in August 2006. On Saturday 8/5/2006 a family was in an accident on I-4 near the Polk City exit. Two of their 3 children were killed in the accident. I had spent a few minutes talking to a friend in the parking lot after work. Had I not taken those seconds which are now so precious to me, I would more than likely have been involved in the accident.
